Nearly half century ago, In consequence
OF the persecution OF the jews ana OF the
laws prohibiting marrige. Mr. Abraham
Hutzler and his betrothcd left Bavaria and
came to New York, where they were mar
ried. Shortly after they came 10 this city
and engaged in the dry goods trade, In
which they have continued until now, most
OF the time In The building (No. 300 east
Broad street, now occupied BY them. Here
they have lived together, Ike Isaac and
Rebecca, until age admonishes them thai
they must soon be gathered to their fathers.
In view Of this their numerous friends
are gratifed by the fact that this good cou-
pie have been able TO rear large family,
into all Of whom they have instil'ed those
principles OF uprightnsss and fair dealing
that have characterized themselves.
There Is no firm with whom the pur.
chaser was safer than with A. Hutzler. and
later A. Huizler 4 Son. Their creditors,
too, were always safe. These firms have
never gone into bankruptcy, paying 30 or
any other per cent, but have always met
their obligations promptly, dollar for do'-
lar.
The four sons-yiz., Moses, Charles,
Isaac, and Emanuel-haye purchased the
property No. 3i5 east Broad street. and
upon It bave erected one OF the most CON-
modious and beautiful store.houses in the
city. In this new building they will In q
few days open to the retail trade full line
of staple and fancy dry goods Of the best
quality, which, judging from the past,
they will no doubt offer on the most reason
able terms. They will be assisted by an
ample corps Of gentlemen and
ladies--apd every customer may rest
assured that he or she will be waited on
politely and dealt with literally.
This notice Is written and published with
out the knowledge Of the parties above
referred to by SEVERAL OLD CUSTOMERS.

AFRICA'S HEART.
How the Natives OF the Dark Cont
nent Conduct Themselves.

An entire wreath OF spears covers the
centre OF the ceiling, and on the walls are
arranged drums, fetishes, idols, knives,
neeklets, bracelets, and all manner OF
savage weapons, says writer In the PdH.
Mall Gazette, describing a visit TO the
house of Captain Storms, the African ex-
plorer. This" said Captain Storms,
taking up a monstr0us native crum OF un-
sbapely girth, "pr0duees curious eject

the interior whose hobby il Is 10 have
'iancy drummers. But their way OF pro-
curing them Is essentially African. They
chop of the hands OF their slaves, and
obIige the latter to beat the drums with
their mutilated stumps, In lieu OF drum
sticks"
must hasten to add that Captain storms
cou6rms the consoling theory OF the insensi-
billty OF the nervous Organization OF the
Africon natives as compared with our own.
The next object be showed us was a wooden
pillow, such as the Malays use, calculated
10 disloeate the neck Of any other but q
savage. On the other hand, the African
feet and hands are particularly small aud
delicate. doubt whether even an Ameri-
can belle could pass the heavy bracelets,
formed out OF section OF the tusk OF an
elephant, over her wrist. The bangles In
use are for practical as well as ornamental
purposes, and represent a kind OF portable
capital. They are made OF the very finest
iIigree wire, and are worn in coils on the
arms and legs. A native unbraceleting or
ungartering himself Is tantamount 10 the
seton Of pulling the purse out OF the
pocket In Europe,
As for the costumes OF the native chlefs, a
kii d OF ballet-dancer's petticoat OF hlthy

better, there being, indeed, 80 little to say
ANYTHING about. These garments appear
beautifully less as one goes farther Into the
interior, assuming the proportion OF min

into nothingness. But the method OF con-

known, Is really an interesting process, a.

THE WEEK OF PRAYER.
Union Services or tho baptist
Churches.

There was a decided increase in the at
tendance at the First Baptist church last
night, and the meeting was one OF very
great interest. DR.. Hatcher. who il very
felicitOus in the conduct OF such meetings,
had the general direction OF the services.
The pastors and other ministers were on
the platform, and scattered all through the
congregation were some OF the most eff
cient workers in the churches.
The singing was particularly sweet and
inspiring. A cabinet organ was on the
platform, at which Mr.. Arthur Clark pre-
sided the first night and Mr.. Ellis Burnett
last night. and DR.. Landrum, with his clear
voice, led the singing, in which the whole
congregation Joined.
Fervent prayers were offered, led by
MessrS. CloptOn, j. j. Hopkins, J. B. Hut
son. William II. Williams, and W. r..
Scully.
Rev. DR.. Cooper spoke on "The Com
plant OF the Father Against His Chill
dren":
1. That they had ceased to be men OF
prayer.
,. That they had grown weary Of His
service.
3. That they had grudged Him the ex.
pense OF their religious life.
God had not been unreasonable In His
demands, but had been patient and long
suffering, and was ever ready to "blot out
their transgressIons." He still pleads with
His wandering people, and begs them to
confess their sins that He might pour out
His spirit and graciously revive His work.
These points DR.. Cooper briefly but
earnestly and effectively applied TO the con-
gregatiOn and their surroundings, AMI ap-
pealed to them TO come back from their
wanderings-t TO rededicate and reconsecrate
themselves to His service.
Rev. S. C.. CIopton spoke briefly OF the
case CT AbsalOm, who could be satisfied
with nothing until reconciled to his father,
as illustrating the condition Of the man who
was not reconcIled to God.
Or. Hatcher related a touching incident
OF an active businessman in Richmond
upon whose spiritual prospects God had
sent blight and mildew because OF his me-
glect OF a special duty, but who was now
rejoicing in new hope because he had taken
up that duty again.
The regular Wednesday-night service 10
the Baptist churches generally will be sus-
pended tonight and the union service
held in the First Baptist.church.
The meetings are growing in interest.
Rev. DR.. ;. A. Goodwin will make the
principal address tonight.

ReSoired, That in the opinion OF this
meeting the provisions of sections and )
Of the Senate hill No. 1882, known As the
conference bill for the regulation OF com.
merce between the States, would be detri.
mental TO the interests OF this community,
